Environmental contaminants in water and sediments : PCDDs, PCDFs and resin acids, Athabasca River basin, February to May, 1993 / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 5313-E1 by Robert...: R71-49/3-130E-PDF

"This report presents results for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-furans (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), and resin acids in water, suspended sediments, and depositional sediments collected from effluents, tributaries, and mainstem Athabasca River locations during February- March, 1993. The collections were commissioned by the Northern River Basins Study and conducted by Environment Canada, simultaneously with an Alberta Environmental Protection winter synoptic survey of the Athabasca River. PCDD/F and resin acid concentrations and calculated contaminant mass loadings are presented. The contaminant loadings from seven effluent sources (one bleached kraft effluent, three chemical- thermomechanical pulp effluents, and three sewage treatment effluents) are compared. In-stream concentration-contaminant flux trends, and contaminant persistence are discussed"--Report summary.
